Qiao Mingyue didn't know how long she had been hiding in the tank, maybe an hour or two hours, just when she was about to fall asleep, the sound outside slowly disappeared.

"Bang-"

Qiao Mingyue pushed the lid aside, cautiously poked her head out to observe the surroundings, the fire in the main hall had been completely extinguished, the army of the three princes did not know where it had been transferred, the people in the palace were all running, and no one cared about why a big living person suddenly appeared from the water tank.

She turned out of the water tank and fell to the ground all of a sudden, it was really uncomfortable to soak in the water for so long, Qiao Mingyue's face was no longer bloody, her skin was wrinkled, and her clothes were already soaked.

Qiao Mingyue was uncomfortable, got up from the ground and ran into a certain palace not far away, pulled some cloth at random to wipe the water on her body, and found the clothes of the palace maid to change into.

The army of the third prince could come back at any time, Qiao Mingyue didn't dare to stay in the palace, and walked straight towards the side door.

As soon as she walked through the palace gate, Qiao Mingyue felt that she had returned to the dream she had at the beginning.

The narrow path was littered with broken corpses, both the defenders and the Huns, and it can be seen that there was a fierce battle here. The only thing that might be different from that dream was that it was night tonight, and there was no sign of the moon in the sky that had been overcast all day, and when I looked up, there were only a few black crows hovering above the palace.

Although she was already accustomed to the smell of blood in her previous life, seeing such a scene still had a strong impact on Qiao Mingyue, she forcibly endured the discomfort of her body and passed through the corpse, most of the dead people were open-eyed, and some Qiao Mingyue had a relationship before, but in just one night, she would never see her again.

The physical and psychological discomfort impacted Qiao Mingyue's will at the same time, and just when she couldn't support it and wanted to fall, Qi Jingyun's shadow suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

It's a dream, how could I see him here?

Qiao Mingyue stood firm against the wall and continued to walk forward, but he couldn't touch the Qi Jingyun in front of him, how far Qiao Mingyue walked forward, how far he would go back.

Qiao Mingyue felt that something was wrong, stopped in place and shook his head violently, the Qi Jingyun in front of him changed into a different appearance, the same as Qiao Mingyue had seen in his dream before, he was still wearing that silver armor, and the long knife in his hand was shining, the difference was that this time his body did not have the previous murderous aura, and his gentle gaze fell on Qiao Mingyue tightly.

"Mingyue, live."

Qiao Mingyue heard him calling his name, and continued to walk towards him as if he was enchanted, and walked through this narrow alley full of corpses step by step.

The moment she walked out of the imperial city, the Qi Jingyun in front of her disappeared, Qiao Mingyue came back to her senses, looked back at the alley just now, and kept repeating the words she had just heard in her mind, and her heart trembled.

Live, Bright Moon.

Mingyue, live.

Not just out of what kind of mentality, Qiao Mingyue turned around and bowed deeply towards the silent imperial city, and when she got up again, she was already in tears.

It was only when the things in the dream became a reality that Qiao Mingyue realized how afraid she was of losing Qi Jingyun, "Let's live." She said to herself, "Live with him."

Having made up her mind, Qiao Mingyue stopped being nostalgic and turned around and walked towards Kyoto City.

Now that the army of the third prince is not in the imperial city, then it is very likely that they are guarding the gate of Kyoto City, and she must find a way to get out of the city, and before that, she needs to get something from the Huihou Mansion.

The once prosperous city of Kyoto has now completely changed, and those who can walk have gone, and some people who can't have left are hiding at home and praying for a new day with their doors closed. War is the most ruthless, and ordinary people are the most innocent.

Qiao Mingyue is not worried about her family, with her father here, they will not be hurt, which is a unique trust as a family. It turned out that her idea was correct, there was no one in the entire Hou Mansion, and everything was intact, and it seemed that she should have left on her own initiative and was not coerced by outsiders.

After confirming this fact, Qiao Mingyue went straight back to her room, took her things, changed into civilian clothes, and planned to leave.

"So you're here."

A voice suddenly came from behind her, and Qiao Mingyue looked around vigilantly.

"Who?"

A person walked out slowly from behind the willow tree in the courtyard, and looked at Qiao Mingyue with a smile, "I've been looking for you for a long time." ”

Qiao Mingyue fixed her eyes and saw that it was Lan Ruoda, "Who are you?" I don't know you. Qiao Mingyue almost called out her name, but suddenly remembered that she had only overheard her conversation with Xu Buyi before, and it stands to reason that she should not know her, so she quickly changed her words.

Lan Ruoda walked over to her, "It doesn't matter if you recognize me or not, I've seen your portrait before, and I remember what you look like." ”

I don't know if it's because I'm a science student, Qiao Mingyue has never been able to read the portraits of the ancients, and feels that the people on the paintings all look the same, and now I heard Lan Ruoda say that she could remember her face after looking at the portrait, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down, took out the hairpin in her sleeve and held it in her hand, and slowly retreated towards the room.

Lan Ruoda noticed her movements, and didn't stop her, but just smiled coquettishly, "I just want to tell you that King Jin is now confronting the third prince outside the city gate, he is looking for you, if you don't hurry over, his situation will not be too good." ”

Qiao Mingyue was a little hesitant, stared into her eyes and asked, "Why are you telling me this?" ”

"I'm not a person from the Three Princes, I'm just here to see the fun, they all say that King Jin of Kyoto City is good-looking, I came to see it, and that's true, but since he already has a lover, I'm not interested in him anymore, I just don't want him to die in vain." Lan Ruoda knew that Qiao Mingyue was very wary of her, so she stopped where she was after taking a few steps and stopped stepping forward.

"As for whether you want to save him or not, you decide. Come with me if you want to go, and if you don't, I can let you go. Lan Ruoda left the choice to Qiao Mingyue and stopped talking, leaning against the wall alone and playing with her hair.

Do you want to believe her?

Qiao Mingyue was a little confused, calculating the time, it had been a long time since the third prince left the other courtyard, if nothing else, Qi Jingyun should have come out of the other courtyard, according to his temperament, it was indeed possible to confront the third prince, after all, there had been a precedent of beating people before.

Whether it was true or not, Qiao Mingyue decided to take a look, she didn't want to joke with Qi Jingyun's life.

"I'll go with you."
